Student Placement Policy
We allow students from Universities and colleges to attend our nursery
to gain valuable knowledge and experience on childcare. These types of
placements can run for as long as 6 months to a full year. We also offer
work experience to school pupils this usually consists of a 2 week block
visit. Work experiences pupils who attend Nursery are not added into the
staff:child ratios.
The Head of Nursery will confirm with the college/school that the student
is under taking a valid qualification in childcare and this will need
to be verified by a named tutor/teacher. Before the student's start date
they are required to attend an induction visit with the Head/Deputy Head.
If at any time during the placement the Head/Deputy Head is unhappy with
the student/work experiences performance their placement will be terminated.
Students/work experiences will not use the child's name in any written
work and will always obtain written permission from parents/carers before
taking photographs as part of their evidence. Any information they gain
about children, parents/carers and any other adults within Nursery is
strictly confidential and will not be discussed. Students will not work
alone and will be supervised at all times.
Having students within the nursery dose not interfere with the quality
of care the children receive
